Bibliothèque de la communauté assomptionniste : saisie informatique et classement Dewey
This work addresses the specific problem of managing a historical religious library's collection for archivists and researchers, but it is incremental as it applies existing classification and database methods to a new dataset.
The researchers tackled the problem of organizing and classifying the historical library of Saint Peter in Gallicantu by computerizing its collection from 2018 onward, resulting in a clarified Dewey decimal classification framework and improved cataloging using external databases like Wikidata and VIAF.
The Library of Saint Peter in Gallicantu has had an eventful history and different phases of classification. It was constituted by the contribution of various private libraries of Religious of the Holy Land. Its history is intimately linked to the Assumptionist presence in Jerusalem. The computerization work carried out from 2018 onwards made it possible to clarify the classification framework based on Dewey's decimal classification and to use the databases - Wikidata, VIAF - to improve the BNF catalogue.
